20 Songs You Probably Know If You Go To YoungLife

For most of you hardcore YoungLifers, after a few years of going consistently to someone's willing garage for Club, you begin to pick up on the over-played music that is forever stuck in your head for the rest of the week. This isn't always a bad thing, however, especially since when an older adult mentions a song, assuming you haven't heard it (all thanks to the stereotype of our generation being narcissistic, uncultured jerks), you can gladly sing a line, mentally thanking all the YoungLife memories that have formed you into such a well-rounded member of society. That might be a stretch here, but we'll go with it.

So for those of you who show up to Club every now and again, here are some songs you will have to look forward to if you start coming more often. For the YL Veterans, however, sit back, scroll, and enjoy the reminiscence.

1. Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd

Bama-bama-bama-wooooo!


2. Firework – Katy Perry

Don’t worry, 90 percent of the people in the room are just screaming. No one can actually hit that note and sound good.


3. Lean on Me – Bill Withers

“For it won’t be long” (SHORT) “'Til I’m gonna need” (ELBOW) “Somebody to leeeeean on.”


4. Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond


*shakes fist in air* BAH BAH BAH!


5. I Knew You Were Trouble – Taylor Swift

Or anything Taylor Swift, let’s just be honest here.


6. Hero – Enrique Iglesias

Everyone has their arms around each other; swaying, screaming.


7. That’s What Makes You Beautiful – One Direction

Once again, basically all the #1 hits 1D releases on the radio. They’re all bound to be stuck in your head.


8. Wagon Wheel – Darius Rucker

“HEYYYYYYYYY Mama, rock me. (Mama, rock me so good!)” Come on, even if you hate country, you know you want to sing along.

9. I Won’t Give Up – Jason Mraz

Some girls will be singing this three octaves above everyone else. Just roll your eyes and sing along with all the guys in the room.


10. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

There’s always that one person that knows all the words and wants the whole room to know.

11. Don’t Stop Believing – Journey

“It goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on…”


12. Living On A Prayer – Bon Jovi

You lean back to scream “OH” with your row and somebody leans to far, and you all go down. It’s basically inevitable.


13. I Want It That Way – Back Street Boys

Somehow this one always turns into a battle of the sexes…


14. My Heart Will Go On – Celine Dion

Whoop! Somebody’s voice just cracked.

15. Wonderwall – Oasis

Don’t let this one get you in the feels. It can be a little heavy sometimes.

16. A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

Simultaneously all singing the piano riff in between verses.

17. I’ll Be – Edwin McCain

I wonder which row will fall over this time, because somebody always goes down, especially at Summer Camp.

18. Build Me Up Buttercup – The Foundations

Thank God for the lyrics on the hanging white sheet, because otherwise, no one would actually know half of the words.


19. Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison

How many “la”s are there again?

20. Free Fallin’ – Tom Petty

Cue the cross-club harmonizing.

Last but not least, while not listed with the 20 selected, an honorable mention must go to the Banana Song. (RIP to those of us who have been taken out during many-a-club, all thanks to the obnoxiously crazy senior boys.)

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
